"Okay, Uncle Dayuan, don't worry, I believe that there are still people in the world who will uphold justice. As long as Brother Shui studied hard, he will definitely be able to pass the exam in the future. If someone interferes with it, I will not forgive him!" Zhao Qi smiled.

"Hahahaha, Zhao Qi, I want to see how you don't forgive me when I saw it. I, Lu Guangping, will leave my words here today. I hope that in a few days, I will not cry and beg me to marry A Lian. Don't think that the matter of Xiaolongwan Harbor can be repaired if the start is smooth. Let's go!" Lu Guangping turned around.

"Brother Yuan!" Ermazi and others jumped up in an instant with pale faces.

"Let them go!" Yang Dayuan clenched his fists and his forehead was covered with blue veins.

Lu Guangping laughed and got on the carriage. A group of servants quickly limped into the sedan chair and followed. Even A Lian's parents and matchmaker who came were frightened and climbed onto another carriage, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Seeing the second young master of the Lu family leaving with a group of people, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the swords, guns and sticks that they held tightly. Even the old, Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang, Xiaozhu, and other elderly, weak and sick, who had been terrified, put down the brooms and sticks in their hands.

"Brother Qi, what should I do? I'm afraid Lu Guangping will arrange for someone to go to the construction site to make trouble!" Ermazi walked to Zhao Qi anxiously and said.

"This beam has been formed, I'm afraid it's useless. The soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth. He is so arrogant and domineering, and his Lu family will not be able to jump around for long!" Zhao Qi comforted calmly.

"What does Xiaoqi mean?" Yang Dayuan turned around and asked with confusion.

"Don't worry, Uncle Dayuan, although the Lu family is backed by Ding Daquan, the court is in turmoil now, and Ding Daquan is unable to protect himself. There is no time to care about the Lu family marrying a woman, so we don't need to be afraid of him. However, the so-called King of Hell is easy to meet and the little ghost is difficult to deal with. Everyone should be careful on weekdays. Let's do this today. Brother Erma takes everyone back to the construction site first!"

"What should I do with this bastard Agui?" Ermao kicked Agui hard and said.

Everyone's eyes fell on Agui.

"This matter... I really don't blame me for this matter. I really didn't take the second young master five hundred stags of money. I just don't like it... A Lian..." Faced with a group of former playmates from the same village surrounded by swords, guns and sticks, A Gui was so scared that his legs trembled and his tongue knotted.

"Ba~" Yang Dayuan twitched Agui's face with a big mouth, changing his usual maturity and steadyness, staring at Agui with red eyes, "A Lian is such a woman, you have been ruined. He actually dared to sell his wife, tie him up, and go to find Mr. Yang San to come over. He said that today, Yang Dayuan, I, would use the village rules to deal with this dog-dog thing that is ripped out of the house!"

"Okay!" A young man ran towards the village head.

"Brother Dayuan surrounds me this time. I was forced by the second young master. I can't do anything about it!" When he heard that he wanted to serve the village rules, Agui was so scared that his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

During the Song Dynasty, all traditional families collapsed, and replaced it with village rules and family agreements formed after the rise of a large number of poor gentry.

Moreover, the tradition of the feudal civilization that the imperial power did not go to the countryside was most obvious in the Song Dynasty.

All villages rely on folk customs and local large families to govern. Even since the late Tang Dynasty, administrative plans at the level of town have been abolished, and no longer set up town pavilions in the Qin and Han Dynasties. All regular functional departments such as You Jiaosefu who managed towns in the Qin and Han Dynasties were abolished, leaving only nominal positions such as Village Zhengli Zheng, who were actually held by local wealthy families and respected people, and local autonomy is carried out by village rules, clan rules, township rules, etc.

This tradition has continued until New China. Rural areas have always been in a state of autonomy in law. They are recognized by the Villagers’ Autonomy Law, and local governments have no right to interfere in rural elections.

Therefore, in rural areas, non-criminal cases and unofficial matters such as abuse of the elderly, stealing and robbery, not working, fighting, causing trouble, adultery and stealing, generally, they will not be reported to officials, but will be dealt with by respected people in the countryside through village rules, village rules, township agreements, or even family laws.

The disposal result is naturally diverse. The thief cuts his fingers and cuts his hands, and the hitters are hung up and beaten to pieces. The most serious thing is that women do not stick to their wives and commit adultery and steal people. Once such a thing is discovered, the whole village will be dispatched to sit on a Trojan horse and even sink into the pond. No matter how cruel it is, in this feudal era when women have low status, few people will uphold justice for women.

If something like murdering your husband happens, no matter what the outcome is, the woman will be sentenced severely.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is absolutely nothing, but the result of the disposal is often not to uphold justice for women, but just a pure struggle in the officialdom.

There was a famous case of Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai in the Qing Dynasty, which was rehabilitated after Empress Dowager Cixi intervened. The case lasted for several years, and hundreds of officials of all sizes and sizes involved in the collapse of the case, which can be said to be the most influential murder case of the Qing Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, there were also two cases related to women who had a profound impact.

The most influential one was the Ayun case in Dengzhou during the Northern Song Dynasty.

Because Ayun attempted to murder his husband (actually he only cut off a little finger with a knife), the local state officials, the imperial court, the Criminal Court, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, the Secretariat, the Privy Council, the Censorate, the Censorate, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and even the current emperor Song Shenzong were involved in this case. Because of this case, the case was constantly being investigated, overturned, reviewed, and retried for 16 years. Hundreds of officials were implicated from the local government to the court, and the quarrel over the case.

Song Shenzong issued several orders by the Secretariat and the censors, which almost made the emperor look like a turtle. In order to completely suppress the chaotic case that caused the court to stir up the chaotic case, Song Shenzong demoted a large number of officials out of the court before he could calm down. However, this calm was only a temporary calm. After Wang Anshi failed to reform, Sima Guangming revived, he took out the case and retried it and insisted on executing Ayun. This was sixteen years after the incident. Ayun had already been remarried and had a large group of children.

Of course, Ayun's final outcome was not verified by history books, but people say that Ayun was finally killed by the conservative Sima Guang.

The Ayun case was so wide and had such a great impact. The repeated retrial of the case lasted for more than ten years. There are many reasons. The most important ones are two. One is that the laws and interrogation institutions of the Song Dynasty were sound and they were very cautious about the death penalty. The other is that it was actually the official struggle between the new and old parties, and it was the result of the continuous struggle between the two mortal enemies Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. In fact, not many of these imperial officials and prefecture-county judges really cared about Ayun's life and death.

(Friends who are interested in the Ayun case can go and have a good understanding of it. It is very in-depth, especially for understanding the judicial system and court structure of the Song Dynasty. This case almost reveals the judicial system and judicial process of the Song Dynasty. Compared with Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai of the Qing Dynasty, which relied on the mercy of Master Qingtian to repeal the case, because in this case, the emperor's decree was not very effective, and they were all discussing ethics and laws.)

In addition to the A Yun case, there is another A Ying case, which involves the tragic death of Ying'er, the maid of the Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong's family. Therefore, the trial was a twists and turns. A case that seemed not complicated was tried for more than two years. The censors of the Taiwan Censor took turns to impeach. Although the Dali Temple was not convicted in the end, Chen Zhizhong was dismissed for this matter, and a large group of officials lost their official positions because of this matter.

All cases that can be tried by the government are related to criminal cases.
